DEFENSE

The UK's bilateral aid to countries like Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Uganda will decrease by up to 90% due to cuts announced by the Labour government to fund defense. This shift towards multilateral funding, including the World Bank, is positioned as a more efficient resource allocation, yet charities warn it may endanger critical projects in these nations.

The next steps in development policy hinge on the new Prime Minister's appointment of a foreign secretary, amid calls to restore UK leadership in foreign aid spending. As Britain prepares to chair the G20, there are expectations to advocate for reforms addressing global poverty and inequality.
